Has science discovered a troll gene? Nature or nurture? As you might guess I lean towards the nurture side. On the other meaning... In the ColdC language, well ColdCore library to be more specific, objects that are "spawnable" have a "fertile" attribute attached to them. There's no such thing as a "class" though, just pure objects. Spawned objects inherit from their parents, while "cloned" objects are siblings in the inheritance tree. The absence of the "fertile" symbol is similar to Java's 'final'. -- J Lambert
